I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that has sent me such wonderful support and encouragement...you are ALL the best!! Unfortunately I've had to postpone my surgery until I fight this ugly smoking habit and beat it to the ground lol...I'm getting help with that now and hopefully soon I will be rescheduling my date!!...I don't want to take any chances and lying about quitting for 6 weeks isn't do myself any favors...so again...thank you everyone for your support and I will update as soon as I've beat the smokie demon and have a new date! ~HUGS~ Konni

Hi Konni and Congrats on taking the steps toward better health and new life! I wish you the best experience with Dr. Vaughn and the Barix team. I also want to invite you to join an email support group just for Barix (formerly known as Bariatric Treatment Centers) patients. It's a wonderful group--full of fun, friendship and support. Best of all, we all follow the BTC/Barix program. No mixed info & lots of weight-loss along the way. If you're interested just reply to this message! Hugs, Blessings and lots of MELTING vibes coming your way. God Bless~

Hi Konni! Big congratulations on your surgery date! I bet you are so excited! Just hang in there and try to be patient! Don’t worry if you are nervous, scared, excited or go through a thousand different emotions. This is all normal, so go with the flow! There’s really nothing you can do with all those feelings surfacing. You may start to doubt yourself and question your decision to have surgery. Just about everyone has had this happen to them. You’re making a decision to have a better quality of life and YOU deserve it!! That gut feeling or that little voice inside lets you know that you’re doing the right thing! Remember that we’re all family here and we’re ready to give you our support, lend an ear and not judge. You know you can always come here and get a dose of confidence and good will! There are lots of us who have had surgery and are in your corner rooting for you!! I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you today and that you are in my thoughts and prayers for a successful, problem-free surgery and recovery. I’m so happy for you. Soon you will be on the other side and will join the ranks of the losers. Get ready for your life to change forever. Wishing you much success in your weight-loss journey. Hugs to you today. God bless, DI from NJ – Lap RNY, 12/09/03 -52 lbs ~In Loving Memory of Momma Angel~

Congratulations my friend. You're on your way to a whole new life, and I couldn't be happier or more excited for you. I hope you feel my presence, and find strength and comfort in it whenever the road gets rocky. You'll always have an angel with you, (lol@me being an angel) embracing you, and sending you love.

HAPPY SUMMER SOLISTICE TO YA!!! Congratulations on your surgery date! I have some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another...observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense. --- May God keep you close to his side as you travel your new journey. You will have ups and downs. You can always turn to us, your AMOS family, we will give support, comfort and encouragement. You will find this will be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself as well as your family. I know that was true for me. Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery for you. Don’t forget to update your profile at least monthly. We all like to see how we are doing!!! Make sure you take pictures. It’s great to see the new you emerge!!! Not to mention the look on YOUR face when you look at those pictures and compare them in a few months! It’ll be a BIG WOW!!! Please remember too, that this is a *tool* to use. Make sure you use it wisely. The first year it’s pretty easy, after that I’ve been hearing (I’m not speaking from experience as I’m not a year out yet) that it gets increasingly difficult. Choose the right foods and measurements wisely! Good luck and God Bless!!! RNY 10/31/03 down 105 pounds– I’M IN THE CENTURY CLUB!!!
